Marsh has announced new leadership appointments for its aviation and space division, effective Sept. 1.
Brian Glod (pictured above, left) has been named global head of aviation and space. He will be based in New York and join Marsh’s Global Specialty Executive Committee, reporting to Andrew George, president of Marsh Specialty.
Tony Ambrose (pictured above, right) has been appointed global chairman of aviation and space, based in London. Ambrose will report to Dominic Samengo-Turner, CEO of Marsh Specialty, UK, and to Glod.
Glod and Ambrose will oversee Marsh’s aviation and space operations worldwide, leading a team focused on managing risks in the aviation and space sectors. Glod joined Marsh in 1996 from Johnson & Higgins and has more than 35 years of industry experience. Ambrose, who joined the company in 2020, brings over 30 years of experience in global aviation insurance.
Marsh also named Patton Kline as regional aviation and space practice leader for the US, succeeding Glod. Kline will be based in New York and report to Michael Pellegrini, Marsh Specialty leader for US and Canada, as well as to Glod.
Kline, who started his career in Marsh’s graduate program, has more than 21 years of experience in aviation and space insurance. He will oversee Marsh’s US aviation and space business.
Marsh’s recent appointments are part of a broader effort to strengthen its specialty leadership across multiple sectors. Alongside the aviation and space changes, Marsh has also expanded its leadership in areas such as nuclear risk, with the appointment of Everett Hansen as US nuclear leader at Marsh Specialty.
“The global aviation and space industry is navigating an increasingly complex world of risk, ranging from supply chain disruption and cyber threats, to burgeoning regulation and climate obligations,” George said. “With Marsh’s deep bench of expertise, we are well-placed to support our clients as they plan for the next chapter in aviation and space development.”
“As the industry evolves, I’m confident that the team at Marsh will continue to offer risk management strategies that allow our clients to seize opportunities and thrive,” Glod said.
